Cognitive and Instructional Processes in History and the Social Sciences
This volume is a direct result of an international conference that brought together a number of scholars from Europe and the United States to discuss their ideas and research about cognitive and instructional processes in history and the social sciences. As such, it fills a major gap in the study of how people learn and reason in the context of particular subject matter domains and how instruction can be improved in order to facilitate better learning and reasoning. Previous cognitive work on subject matter learning has been focused primarily upon mathematics and physics; the present effort provides the first such venture examining the history and social science domains from a cognitive pers...
Teaching and Learning in History
Research on history instruction and learning is emerging as an exciting new field of inquiry. The editors prepared this volume because the field is at an important moment in its development -- a stage where there is research of sufficient depth and breadth to warrant a collection of representative pieces. The field of research on history teaching and learning connects with both traditional research on social studies and with recent cognitive analyses of domains such as mathematics and physics. However, the newer research goes beyond these activities as well. Where traditional research approaches to social studies instruction and learning have focused on curriculum, they have avoided the stud...
Reconsidering Conceptual Change: Issues in Theory and Practice
This book is an important account of the state of the art of both theoretical and practical issues in the present-day research on conceptual change. Unique in its complete treatment of the questions that should be considered to further current understanding of knowledge construction and change, this book is useful for psychologists, cognitive scientists, educational researchers, curriculum developers, teachers and educators at all levels and in all disciplines.
International Handbook of Research on Conceptual Change
Conceptual change research investigates the processes through which learners substantially revise prior knowledge and acquire new concepts. Tracing its heritage to paradigms and paradigm shifts made famous by Thomas Kuhn, conceptual change research focuses on understanding and explaining learning of the most the most difficult and counter-intuitive concepts. Now in its second edition, the International Handbook of Research on Conceptual Change provides a comprehensive review of the conceptual change movement and of the impressive research it has spawned on students’ difficulties in learning. In thirty-one new and updated chapters, organized thematically and introduced by Stella Vosniadou, this volume brings together detailed discussions of key theoretical and methodological issues, the roots of conceptual change research, and mechanisms of conceptual change and learner characteristics. Combined with chapters that describe conceptual change research in the fields of physics, astronomy, biology, medicine and health, and history, this handbook presents writings on interdisciplinary topics written for researchers and students across fields.
Learning Mathematics
Learning Mathematics brings together a collection of interrelated and forward-looking chapters by internationally recognized experts that explores changes in the theories and practices of learning (and teaching) mathematics. The authors reject a traditional, transmission view of the teaching of mathematics which has proved so ineffective for learning. In its place they offer information gathered from research and from practice about effects on the learners seeking to create and negotiate meaning. Learners are presented as actively attempting to make sense of the mathematics they encounter, and learners, teachers and researchers are offered examples of ho such sense-making activities, incorporated into mathematics classrooms, impact on coming to know. The book celebrates both diversity, in the range of different perspectives, contributions and topics, and unity, in the linking chapters and themes, It will be fascinating reading for those mathematics educators who are eager to engage with a socio-cultural perspective in order to better understand the complexity of learning mathematics.
Teaching History for the Common Good
In Teaching History for the Common Good, Barton and Levstik present a clear overview of competing ideas among educators, historians, politicians, and the public about the nature and purpose of teaching history, and they evaluate these debates in light of current research on students' historical thinking. In many cases, disagreements about what should be taught to the nation's children and how it should be presented reflect fundamental differences that will not easily be resolved. A central premise of this book, though, is that systematic theory and research can play an important role in such debates by providing evidence of how students think, how their ideas interact with the information th...
Quellenarbeit im Geschichtsunterricht
Dass sich Schülerinnen und Schüler im Geschichtsunterricht mit historischen Quellen beschäftigen, gehört zu den wenigen fast völlig unumstrittenen Paradigmen schulischer Geschichtsvermittlung in Deutschland. Doch welche Kompetenzen erwerben Schülerinnen und Schüler im alltäglichen Geschichtsunterricht, wenn sie sich mit Quellen auseinandersetzen? Um dieser Frage nachzugehen, hat der Autor über vierzig Stunden Unterricht videografiert und mit der dokumentarischen Methode untersucht. Die Ergebnisse legen nahe, dass sich Unterricht, der Kompetenzerwerb fördert, dadurch auszeichnet, dass er Kooperations- und Konstruktionsprozesse auf Seiten der Schülerinnen und Schüler ermöglicht. Traditioneller fragend-entwickelnder Unterricht bietet demnach keine günstigen Bedingungen für Kompetenzerwerb.
Teaching for Historical Literacy
Teaching for Historical Literacy combines the elements of historical literacy into a coherent instructional framework for teachers. It identifies the role of historical literacy, analyzes its importance in the evolving educational landscape, and details the action steps necessary for teachers to implement its principles throughout a unit. These steps are drawn from the reflections of real teachers, grounded in educational research, and consistent with the Common Core State Standards. The instructional arc formed by authors Matthew T. Downey and Kelly A. Long takes teachers from start to finish, from managing the prior learning of students to developing their metacognition and creating synthesis at the end of a unit of study. It includes introducing topics by creating a conceptual overview, helping students collect and analyze evidence, and engaging students in multiple kinds of learning, including factual, procedural, conceptual, and metacognitive. This book is a must-have resource for teachers and students of teaching interested in improving their instructional skills, building historical literacy, and being at the forefront of the evolving field of history education.
Historisches Bildverstehen oder Wie lernen Schüler mit Bildquellen?
Die Arbeit mit Bildquellen hat einen festen Platz im Geschichtsunterricht. Jenseits bisheriger theoretischer und unterrichtspraktischer Überlegungen zur Arbeit mit historischen Bildquellen wurde jedoch bislang kaum diskutiert, was "Bildverstehen" überhaupt heißt, und wie man Bildverstehensprozesse vom Lernsubjekt her beschreiben und erklären kann. Wie viel Vorwissen ist hilfreich und notwendig, um Bilder historisch zu verstehen und zu interpretieren? Welchen Einfluss haben Schülervorstellungen auf den Bildverstehensprozess? Die vorliegende Studie geht diesen Fragen erstmals empirisch nach.
